Does self-myofascial release cause a remote hamstring stretching effect based on myofascial chains? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: The hamstring muscles are described as forming part of myofascial chains or meridians, and the superficial back line (SBL) is one such chain. Good hamstring flexibility is fundamental to ...
Sex differences in pre-season anthropometric, balance and range-of-motion characteristics in elite youth soccer players
(MDPI, 2022)
In soccer, injury epidemiology differs between males and females. It is clinically useful to know whether there are between-sex differences in selected characteristics relevant to primary injury risk ...
Biceps femoris activation during hamstring strength exercises: a systematic review
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate the biceps femoris long head activation across cross-sectional hamstring strength exercise studies. Methods: A systematic review design ...
Normative data and correlation between dynamic knee valgus and neuromuscular response among healthy active males: a cross-sectional study
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The dynamic knee valgus (DKV) during different sport maneuvers has been widely described as risk factor to develop an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Hip and knee muscles seem to have a crucial role ...
Correlation between physical performance and stabilometric parameters in older adults
(MDPI, 2022)
Background and Objectives: Falls are a common and serious threat to the health and independence of older adults. The decrease in functional capacity during aging means an increased risk of falls. To ...
Effects of adding an online exercise program on physical function in individuals hospitalized by COVID-19: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
The worldwide pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has impacted all healthcare systems. One potential sequela experienced by hospitalized coronavirus ...
Effects of a massage protocol in tensiomyographic and myotonometric proprieties
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Pre-competition massage is usually used to improve athletic performance and reduce risk of injury. Despite its usual use, the effects of pre-competition massage on neuromuscular function ...
Effectiveness of a multicomponent training program on physical performance and muscle quality in older adults: a quasi-experimental study
(MDPI, 2023)
Aging is associated with a decrease in functional capacity, manifested by a loss of strength, physical performance and muscle quality. Multicomponent training (MCT), characterized by the combination of ...
